  • NATO will not join US–Israel campaign, Rutte says

    Jump

  • Yes, absolutely. And that is precisely why we should see to it that all politicians who have benefited from this system are eliminated in democratic countries. For western democracies, this is basically synonymous with eliminating US lobbying and therefore includes most established politicians.

    However, the democratic process for doing so is significantly hampered by the fact that social media in particular, but also legacy media is owned by billionaires. This ensures that only a minority in a given country is informed about the fact that only of a tiny fraction of the population, the richest 1%, in all Western democracies has benefited from this system while the population got exploited.

    For Germany, for example, this means that under no circumstances one should vote for the AfD, because it is MAGA with the same goals and the same influential financiers - just a different brand.

  • I understand your point, but I disagree. I think NATO effectively no longer exists anyway - better to get rid of it sooner rather than later. The US recently threatened a war of aggression against one of its founding members. Now would be the right time to punish the geopolitical excesses of the criminal US-regime by creating a new alliance. The US is only a world power because of its military apparatus, which is financed on credit.

    I see no reason not to let the existing world order collapse, because it has brought nothing but misery since the end of World War II.

    Edit: There can no longer be any talk of a community of values with the US, as the regime there proves on a daily basis. It is more than unlikely that this will change, as the US population remains passive and will therefore soon be living in a dictatorship that will no longer pretend to be any different from oligarchies such as Russia. Therefore, I think, it makes little difference to orient oneself towards China instead.

  • That goes without saying, given that this is a completely illegal war of aggression. It is inconceivable that the EU is nevertheless acting as if these were allies. This war is a crime and serves to distract from further crimes: in the US, from the fact that the country is run by a fascist pedophile ring, and in Israel, from genocidal fascists whose agent, Epstein, made all this possible in the first place.

    It is outrageous that the EU has not withdrawn from NATO and continues to supply weapons to the monsters in Israel.

  • I vote and regularly attend protests, but lately I've also been pointing out to people on social media that whataboutism is not very effective.

  • Please explain it to me. And by that I don't mean a general explanation of how journalism works, because I probably know a whole lot more about that than you do, but an explanation of why you believe that the US, together with Israel, should not be held responsible for the murder of innocent children. And then I would also like to know what your motivation is for defending the current US regime, because I don't understand it.

  • This is likely a physical defense reaction against the prosecution of serious criminals who are waging a war to cover up their own misdeeds. Perhaps he should seek advice from Bibi.

    Jump

  • Yes, I'm simplistic when it comes to this: I wouldn't accept being ruled by organized crime that covers up its heinous crimes by starting a war. But hey, it's nice that you know the names of two renowned psychologists.

  • I have given up hope that the US population can be counted on. They have allowed too many atrocities to happen, and it is equally obvious that they will not even act for their own sake.

    I simply do not accept arguments such as "there is no evidence," because only the worst can be expected from the US - the evidence is the president who leads the US.

  • Looking at the comments here, even here in the Fediverse, it's quite easy to understand how the US regime is possible despite its completely obvious depravity.

  • Death toll from Iran school bombing reportedly rises to almost 150

    Jump

  • Of course it is tragic, heartbreaking even. But what bothers me about the term tragic in this context is that it makes it sound as if the deaths of these innocent girls were inevitable, as if they had been killed in a natural disaster for which no one is responsible.

    However, that is not the case here at all: these girls were murdered by ruthless criminals.

  • Is there such a thing as "megathreads" in the Fediverse? I'm asking because of current events, as many posts are repetitive and the discussion is therefore inconsistent.

    Jump

  • I didn't want to start a discussion about the pros and cons of megathreads, I just wanted to ask whether this is common practice in the Fediverse. That doesn't seem to be the case - and for good reason, given the decentralized nature of the network. For the sake of simplicity, it would be welcome for some topics, but I'm sure we'll manage just fine without it.

  • Yanis Varoufakis calls prosecution after admitting taking ecstasy 40 years ago ‘ridiculous’

    Jump

  • We really need to see that it is in our own interests to eradicate US lobbying. This also means that all EU politicians who have allowed themselves to be bribed must be removed from office.

    In my opinion, this includes the majority of politicians from established parties who have been in government in EU countries in the last 10 years.

    It is simply necessary to hold them accountable, as voters have rightly lost confidence in them. If there are no consequences, parties such as the AfD in Germany will prevail, which has "Alternative" in its name but absurdly tries to conceal the fact that it is nothing more than MAGA with that: a neo-Nazi party that propagates fascism and is controlled by the same billionaire financiers who helped Nazi ideology succeed in the US - for the same reasons: the realization of the omnipotence trauma of fascist billionaires.

  • This is not tragic, but a war crime - and this war is itself a crime, simply because it is completely contrary to international law.

  • TIL that Ayatollah Khamenei built a secret organization called BAYT. This organization is more powerful than the government and employs 40,000 people. The goal was to make sure killing him is useless

    Jump

  • Yes, and it's also great that the regime is setting up a secret police force with ICE that has a budget equivalent to the military spending of a medium-sized country...

    Seriously, how can any reasonably rational person accept this? Why doesn't the population paralyze the country with a general strike until this criminal regime is forced to resign? That would also be an opportunity to finally overcome the associated oligarchy and force through the reforms that have been necessary for ages. This includes a fundamental update of the constitution, which has not been updated for at least 150 years, something the US seems to be proud of for some inexplicable reason, which can only mean that this country is unaware that it is still celebrating a system of apartheid.

    The same applies to the rule that constitutional judges are elected for life - for obvious reasons, there is no other democratic country in the world that would adhere to this; likewise, there is no democratic country that has an electoral college system or similar that does not even take into account the population of a particular state.

  • Well, that may be one of the countless reasons why the US, under reasonably sensible leadership, has not attempted to attack Iran. Now it has come to pass because a pedophile, threatened by his heinous deeds catching up with him, decided to try it anyway in order to distract from the crimes he and his degenerate crew are committing - in open violation of international law as well as US law. He and his accomplices in Israel apparently trust that the US citizens will let him get away with it unpunished. How about it, US citizens - is that the case? Is there really no justice left in your country?

  • Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective.
